Create AI-friendly project structures using progressive disclosure indexing (AGENTS.md, module INDEX.md files, file intent headers). ALWAYS use this skill when the user wants to: create or update AGENTS.md or llms.txt, add INDEX.md files to modules, set up project navigation for AI agents, retrofit an existing codebase with AI-friendly indexes, design module boundaries with explicit dependency and modification-risk documentation, or mentions "AI-friendly project", "progressive disclosure", "project index", "codebase navigation", or "ariadne". Also use when the user asks how to structure a new project so AI tools can navigate it efficiently, even if they don't use these exact terms.

Ariadne Thread
Create codebases that AI agents can navigate efficiently through progressive disclosure — revealing only what's needed, when it's needed.
When to Use
Apply this skill when the user:
- Starts a new project and wants AI-friendly structure
- Restructures or indexes an existing codebase
- Adds project navigation (AGENTS.md, INDEX.md, llms.txt)
- Designs module boundaries and dependencies
